Mosley has NEVER been stopped...he's been knocked down but NEVER stopped....you had best check your facts before you post them.
You don't uppercut a guy who throws hooks like Cotto without leaving yourself wide damn open.

Yes but Shane is a better technician than Margarito and has some of the fastest hands P4P and he's harder to hit than Margarito.
Cotto got hit by Judah who has extremely quick hands.
Margarito shouldn't be compared to either one of those guys
Speed and footwork can cause problems for Margarito.Look at the first five rounds of Williams fight.Williams Utilized his long hand speed and spun circles around Margarito.But Tonys tenacious pressure with range power can can quickly get him into a guys chest with some great uppercuts and solid body work,though his propensity to take left hooks leaves something to be desired at timesI am always weary of relying on a good chin as a part of a guys foundation...more of a fail-safe thing ?Better defense for Margarito than his chin is his undeniable pressure and all angel offense.Cottos jab will be a huge obstacle for Tony and he has shown Improved mobility as of late.Cotto can be stunned but it is from the sharp/quick type of shots but I do think Margarito can keep Cotto on his heels with volume punching and uppercuts.Tony has a tremendous chin but has in the past had his share of getting buzzed moments.When It all comes down, I love this fight and am glad It is coming.I like Margarito to win this one over Cotto,I think uppercuts will be a big factor.Can not wait for this one

Anyone notice how big and high Gomez's cup was during the fight? But he didn't get any help from it. So Oscar De la Hoya....take notice
Margarito will trade with Cotto and honestly from 147-160 I wouldn't advise anyone to do that....yes 160, I believe Miguel's power can go up that far because he punches to the body!
When you fight a guy who never quits you never give him the opportunity to come back which is why Cotto let the stoppage come to him instead of forcing it.
Too many times guys dominate and then force things and BANG they lose by a shocking KO....Cotto has had his share of stupid moves, like vs Torres and he has obviously learned from this
I really admire Gomez , he did a thing that some other boxers don't have the COJONES for do , he also never disrespect Cotto and that's count , that show the quality of person that you are and i hope he could improve more in boxing ............and getting better about his condition.....

YOur right about the Mosley thing, my bad, but I am getting the feeling you have never boxed before, everything about Cotto's style from where he holds his hands and his head to the hooks that he throws sets him up for uppercuts. Margarito being so much taller has the perfect leverage to get off those powerful uppercuts in close or when Cotto comes in, and an uppercut thrown properly gets there before a hook, and if you throw it properly does more damage because it actually snaps the head more than any other punch which means it rattles the brain more than any other punch, but along the way its good for busting up mouths which Cotto has had problems with, and breaking noses. If Cotto's nose is broken and he's bleeding inside his lip he is in deep shit.
